How to pass tests with a breeze

Most tests require memorizing long sentences or formulas. If it was an English definition such twenty words, defining and spelling can be a pain. So what I do is break apart the word for example exonerate- clear of blame. When you first look at this word your wondering what the freak does this word mean? Well lets break it down,  what I do then which might be a little confusing but I highlight certain letters such as era which works into the letter clear and then the word ends in e so I think of another word that ends in e to complete the sentence. So the highlighted words would be exonerate orange goes first so (cl)ear then green which is o(f) then (blam)e. I think this is much easier then memorizing all the words and i have used this technique throughout high school and got 100's on all my tests but results maybe different just test it out first to see if it works for you (btw you just memorized a sat word). I hated science but what I found helped me remember things like body systems was with sentences, some of which weren't really sentences but since they sound funny i memorized them. For example Respect my love respects<- respiratory system. How does that have anything to do with the respiratory system you may ask well R-respiratory, M-mitochondria, l-liver, and r.s-respiratory system and that's all that the respiratory system is does and where. This can be used for math, social studies and ect. One math example would be SOHCAHTOA- example: so old his /cane and hat /tared off alittle there are so many other sentences which could help you memorize, the more original helps you the best. If you have any questions just leave a comment and I'll be sure to help!
